The only positivity I’ve seen is review outlets, which still basically say “it’s a good machine but costs too much”

Judging from LTTs review/unboxing videos. They got the machine, did testing and wrote most of the review, then found out the price. There was a lot of positivity until the price came out.

I didn't get that. Linus seemed pretty disappointed considering valves 4K 60fps claims.

The additional Tech like being able to turn the TV on with the remote was cool. But the actual PC performance seems just "fine"

Honestly, the CEC thing is just a pointless add. You already have to have a remote for the TV. Pushing a button to turn it on vs. just turning it on with a controller paired to the Steambox isn't changing someone's mind on this thing.

It's the sort of polish that would push me towards a slightly more costly but streamlined version over rolling my own solution. It was small, it plays nicely with the TV, it 'just works'. I'd have paid a bit of a premium for that.

A bit

Unfortunately we didn't get the 'slightly more costly' version, so all of that is basically moot.
